N48PL

The airframe registered as N48PL is a 2009-built Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X), serial number 4181, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by LDP AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Sarasota, FL, US, and is registered in the US; its ownership record indicates corporate registration rather than individual ownership. The airframe's condition and market status are reflected in an assessed value of $12,600,000, and maintenance and outfitting history for this specific serial are consistent with a high-utilization executive transport of its vintage. Notable registry actions or changes in operator history beyond corporate ownership have not been published in the provided data.

The airframe is typically outfitted in a standard executive configuration accommodating 12–22 passengers, and for this unit the published seating capacity is 22, indicating either high-density executive seating or supplemental belted provisions for certain missions. The cabin arrangements for this G450 include forward and aft lavatories and an aft galley, although exact internal layout varies by outfitting for serial 4181. Avionics fit for the G450 family commonly comprises Honeywell/Gulfstream integrated suites; the exact avionics installation for N48PL is not confirmed in the data provided. Operationally the aircraft's long-range capability and cruise speed support transcontinental and international executive transport missions typically flown from its Sarasota, Florida base under corporate operation, with maintenance considerations driven by the twin Rolls-Royce TAY 611-8C engines and established service intervals for the GIV-X series.

The Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) family occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range and high cruise speed as reflected in the 4,363 nm range and 476 kts cruise of this airframe. Competing models occupy similar market segments; buyers and charter operators value the G450 for cabin comfort and range, while resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine maintenance records, avionics upgrades, and interior refurbishments—factors directly relevant to the $12,600,000 valuation of serial 4181.
